Hi all!Well, it certainly has been a while since I have done a recipe for Whadda We Eatin' Wednesday. I'm SO late that I'm even posting this on a THURSDAY! haha! There are several reasons for my recent absence. A few months ago, I found out that my blood sugar is high, so I'm back on a low carb diet. =( Unfortunately, that has kind of cut back on all my fun crock pot recipes for a while....however, I am learning some new ones that are lower in carbs, which is good...and I'll make sure to post them as we try them!Also, we are preparing for a move, so life has been very busy preparing for that, along with work, family and homeschooling, and trying to have something of a social life! haha!BUT...TODAY, I have a wonderful recipe to share that is super easy and so delicious. This is a great recipe for a nice Holiday Breakfast for the family or for entertaining!I prepared it for a ladies prayer breakfast recently and it was so good and so easy, I made it a few times after that just for me and the family!It's an Easy LOW CARB Southwest Breakfast Casserole!

Here's what you'll need:4 eggs1/4 cup milk or Heavy whipping cream (I used whole milk and it turned out pretty good...but the Heavy whipping cream makes it more quiche-like...not sure if skim or 2% milk would work as well...if you try it, I'd love to hear what you think.)1/4 cup Salsa, or to tasteReal Bacon Bits to taste. I used 1/2 package1/2 to 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice, a Mexican blend or taco blend would probably be delish, as well as pepper jack if you want extra spice!)That's it! Just combine these ingredients and whisk thoroughly. Then pour into a small casserole dish (mine was probably a 5x8) and cook for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. This came out so good and the ladies at the prayer meeting loved it. My husband and I also loved it and just kept making it!I hope you enjoyed today's WHADDA WE EATIN' WEDNESDAY!Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great rest of the week! =)This post is being added to:Just Us Four Link PartyFoodie FridayOn the Menu Monday

Hello everyone!Boy, has it been a long time!!! I'm so sorry for not being on sooner. Life has been crazy busy these days with out of town trips, a hectic work schedule, and some other things....along with just trying to juggle work, homeschooling, and life in general!For today, I wanted to share with you a table I created for a Fall prayer breakfast I had with a couple good friends recently!!! We hadn't had a prayer breakfast in a while, so I really wanted to make this table fun and special. I call this tablescape "Pumpkins and Prayer"....I'm sure you can see why...haha!

I started with my full length white round tablecloth, however, it was just too white, so I topped it with an off-white crochet tablecloth from Goodwill to add some warmth.

This adorable pumpkin for the centerpiece was a great Goodwill find, and I set it on top of my homemade pedestal I made with a candleholder and a dessert plate (and some super glue!)The orange pumpkin candle was set atop a small pillar candleholder...and it let off a wonderful pumpkin scent! I also used the top of a pretty covered dish I have as a small bowl for some orange and gold ornaments- a super deal I got on clearance after the Holidays last year. I really like how this added some shine to the table. All of these sat on top of a pretty beaded pumpkin placemat I got last year. For the place settings, I started out with orange chargers from Michaels, topped with a dollar store white dinner plate. On top of that are these cute pumpkin plates from Pier 1 that I got for 75% off in January!!! I stocked up on these, and you'll most likely see them again at our Thanksgiving feast!!! The darker orange napkins with the gold bling napkin rings were a good match for the darker orange in the pumpkin plates. I got this gold flatware online from Ebay, and then found some other pieces at Goodwill one day! SCORE! =D

It turned out to be such a nice morning of sharing and praying with some wonderful friends. It's such a blessing to have friends that I can pray with and for and that I know are praying for me! Well, that's it for this TABLESCAPE TUESDAY! I hope you have a wonderful week! This post is being added to:Centerpiece WednesdayTablescape ThursdayLet's DishSeasonal Sundays

About Me
